She Survived Breast Cancer. Then Came the Hardest Part | Katherine Froggatt from Breast Wise

What if the hardest part of cancer isn't the chemotherapy, surgery or radiation, but what happens when treatment ends?

In this episode of Forkin' Good, Simon Gault and Kate Fenwick sit down with Katherine Froggatt, breast cancer survivor, health coach and founder of Breast Wise, for an honest and deeply personal conversation about life after cancer.

Diagnosed with breast cancer at just 39, with two young children and family living overseas, Katherine shares the fear, guilt and uncertainty that followed her diagnosis. Ten years later, she explains why completing treatment didn't mean the emotional journey was over.

Together, they explore:

Why life after cancer can be harder than treatment itself

The fear of cancer returning and learning to live with uncertainty

What NOT to say to someone who has been diagnosed with cancer

How friends and family can offer meaningful support

The importance of asking for help and finding your community

Food, home cooking and reconnecting with family traditions

Moving from simply surviving to truly thriving

What a cancer diagnosis can teach us about making the most of life

Katherine also shares how her experiences inspired her work through Breast Wise, supporting others navigating cancer and the challenges that come with recovery.

This is a conversation about much more than breast cancer. It's about empathy, family, resilience, finding joy in everyday moments and remembering what really matters.
